BSNL Rs 298 plan: Unlimited data, voice calls on any network for 56 days at Rs 298

In a move to encourage new users to join the network, the state-owned telecom operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited(BSNL) has rolled out a new Rs 298 plan. The move also takes a direct shot at Airtel's Rs 399 and Jio's Rs 349 plan.

Under the FRC Rs 298 plan, BSNL is offering unlimited voice calls both STD and local across any network in India along with unlimited data for 56 days. The company has not mentioned any FUP limit for the voice calls but there is an FUP of data access. Users can access 1GB data daily, post which the internet would work but at a reduced speed of 80kbps. The validity for the plan is just for 56 days.

This is a promotional plan launched by BSNL which means that the plan is applicable only on first recharge. Please note that this plan can be subscribed in next 180 days which means from August 7 till November 4 of this year.

The plan competes against Jio's Rs 349 and Airtel's Rs 399 plan. Here's what the other two telcos are offering:

Airtel Rs 399 plan

Airtel is running a Rs 399 plan, with the same motive of getting new subscribers on the network.   The plan offers 1GB data and unlimited voice calls with an FUP limit  of 300 minutes a day and 1200 minutes a week. The plan is valid for 84 days.

Jio Rs 349 plan

Reliance Jio, which is the key reason behind all the ongoing price war in the telecom sector, recently revamped all its existing plans to offer more data and longer validity.
Jio's Rs 349 now comes with 56 days validity instead of 28 days before. The recharge gets you 10GB + 10GB 4G data for 28 days each. In case you have used the 10GB data within the 28 days then the internet would continue to work but at a reduced speed of 128kbps.

Why Jio and Airtel plans are better than the BSNL

Even though the BSNL's Rs 298 plan may sound cheaper than the other two plans, there is a major issue of the network. BSNL has a poor internet connectivity compared to the Jio and Airtel. Even though the Jio is also facing penetration issues in several areas but the company has significantly worked and improved over it. Airtel is also quite dependable for network availability but the same cannot be said for the BSNL.

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018 Nearly a year ago, we reviewed the Jabra Elite Sport, the longtime wireless audio maker's first venture into the true wireless space. You could say that they were ambitious with their approach, considering the earbuds attempted to appeal to both music and fitness enthusiasts. Unfortunately, it didn't help either that the Elite Sport were slapped with a $250 price tag, making them one of the more expensive mainstream options at the time. During CES 2018 early last month, Jabra introduced two new truly wireless headphones – the Jabra Elite 65t and the Elite Active 65t. Naturally, this strategy is a departure from the company's previous efforts, as it now tries to cater to the two opposing demographics with dedicated products. The Elite 65t, in particular, is marketed as "being engineered for the best true wireless calls and music experience." That's yet again a bold claim, so we'll find out how it stacks...

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018 Microsoft is bringing something big into their hands , as the patent that was granted last week in the United States has shown. This patent had already emerged at the end of October of this year, where its resemblance reminded us of that mythical Microsoft Courier , which never saw the light. Now we have new clues that in Redmond are working on a device that is known under the code name of ‘Andromeda’ , which could be the rumored and expected Surface Phone. And now, thanks to designer David Breyer, we can have a clearer look at what this device would look like if it were real. Microsoft Andromeda David Breyer decided to get down to work and carefully read the Microsoft patent as well as the schematics and details, this with the aim of making a 3D recreation of the device and so we can understand a little what they are doing in Redmond. The first rumors, the new patent and the examples shown with the Courier sho...

Jio feature phone pre-booking suspended on high demand

Reliance Industries has suspended the pre-booking of its newly launched 4G VoLTE feature phone, JioPhone, till further notice after demand for the device far exceeded the target of making available 5 million phones a week. “The customers can, however, register their details but we are not taking any pre-booking as of now,” said a person familiar with the matter. A message on Jio’s website – uploaded on Sunday – reads that the customers will be informed when the company resumes pre-booking. RIL and Reliance Jio Infocomm didn’t respond to an email seeking comment. The Mukesh Ambani-led firm had also offered customers the option of booking the device through the offline channels through Jio retailers and multi-brand device retailers, including the Reliance Digital stores network. Sources say pre-booking has stopped across those offline outlets as well.  Jio Phone bookings with a Rs 500 advance had crossed the 3 million mark within a couple of hours of opening on August 24.  The d...
